Gerhard Richter — Abstraktes Bild
Gerhard Richter

Abstraktes Bild

1994

A commanding abstract painting from Gerhard Richter's celebrated Abstrakte Bilder series, dominated by an intense cadmium red field with passages of green, grey, and yellow revealed through his signature squeegee technique. The dragged paint creates a luminous, layered surface where underlying colors emerge through erasure and accumulation, demonstrating Richter's masterful balance between control and chance. This predominantly red composition exemplifies the artist's ability to generate visual depth and emotional resonance through purely painterly means.
